As part of the promotion for the biennial flamenco festival of Seville, flamenca stars such as Eva Yerbabuena have travelled as far as Japan to drum up interest for what is set to be the biggest “Bienal de Flamenco” so far!
Although the actual festival will take place in 2010, from 15 September until 9 October, though we can safely say that 2009 has not gone past quietly – in fact it has seen worldwide celebration! From New York, where they put on the “Noche de Sevilla” with piano from Dorantes and the voice of Arcángel. Later in London, March 2009, Rocio Molina starred in the “Oro Viejo” show at the Sadler Wells venue.
Moving accross the continent to Italy, the people of Rome could enjoy a showing of “Noche de Sevilla” too., this time with guitars from Manolo Franco and Niño de Pura and singing from José de la Tomasa.

The latest installment to this world tour, taking the great Spanish custom to the world, has teken place in Tokio, Japan. It was here where the “Santo y Seña” show was presented to over 2000 people – all of whom could enjoy the dancing of Eva Yerbabuena, the guitar from Paco Jarana and the voice of Jeremo Segura,
The second night’s show in Tokio was “Yerbabuena” – this time with over 1500 people and a roaring success!
